So why is it possible for a person to be catholic, attend church regularly, and yet still not agree with some of the core teachings of the church....but it's impossible for a black man to attend Obama's church and not agree with the things Rev. Wright said?
What I see in your statements is a projection of your own racism onto Obama. You assume that because you don't like black people that they don't like you either.

You assume too much. The reason I dislike Obama is because he is one of those pretty speaking people who is nothing more than a product. Anyone who doesn't fall for pretty words and sayings can see there is little of substance behind him and who or what he is remains well hidden. I kinda hope Americans get him, he may work out fine, he may just be the same old, but there is a good chance he will really hurt America both with his weak image and foreign policy and I am sure he will be a disaster for your economy.
Back to the original point .. people will attend a catholic church and still use birth control (I personally know people who do!), but people won't attend a church that preaches racist rhetoric if they don't agree with it ... they will go to a church more in line with their values.
Anyhow Americans deserve Obama ... and I guarantee you will get a hardline republican with a huge majority as soon as Obama's term is up. Once the world starts taking advantage of weak leadership and America gets trodden on for a few years people will get sick of the pretty speeches and clean softy-softly president. You need someone in there with a giant set of balls, and Clinton is packing twice that of Obama.
